Here’s a Massive, 5-Minute Trailer for ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’

Independence Day: Resurgence is working hard to remind us it’s coming out, and now we have an expansive five-minute trailer for the upcoming sequel. There’s plenty of new footage, and by the time this thing comes out we might have seen it all in bits and pieces.

Here is the new trailer:

Here’s the quick synopsis, in case you were uncertain about the plot:

Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind’s new space defenses be enough?

I’m getting the feeling Bill Pullman’s President Whitmore isn’t going to be around long in this one. My guess is that scene where he’s taken over by the alien is early in the first act. The CGI also looks way out of hand this time around, but what else would you expect from Roland Emmerich.

Independence Day: Resurgence hits theaters June 24.
